Toasted Almond
RIP 1952-2016
Stay with this post for awhile, and you will see a day to end all days.
Woke up at 2:18 AM like I was hit by a bolt of lightning in my lower back. The worst arthritis flare up I've ever had. Fell back asleep only to wake up EVERY time I moved the slightest bit. HAD to go to work due to a heavy training schedule today.
Stepped out the door at 6:30 AM to an absolute downpour. It rained like this up till about 9AM. I was worried that my handicapped 18 year old daughter's schoolbus had trouble negotiating the rain. I called my wife at work about 10AM to see if she had the number with her, so that I could call the school. My wife informed me that she (my wife) was experiencing severe upper chest pains, and was being taken to the emergency room. Luckily, my wife works 4 stories above the emergency room. I blew out of work to the hospital, where we sat for about 5 hours going through tests. The good part is it appears she tore some muscles in her upper chest lifting my daughter, who weighs about 80 lbs. This is GOOD because it wasn't some type of heart attack.
I got my wife home and situated comfortably, and went out to get the painkiller prescription filled. As I walked across the parking lot with the scrip, the "White Van" approached me. YUP, THAT White Van. A first for me. SURE, I want to buy some speakers. While they parked their van, I got into the Gray Shark and departed, LAUGHING. The guys caught up to me at a traffic light, and inquired as to why I split. I told them I was aware of the scam, and that I had already taken note of their license plate number. The driver made a comment about my wifes sexual technique, and sped off. After I got home with the scrip, I had to go out again to pick up my special needs daughter. I took my wifes Windstar for this trip. While waiting at a red light, and watching the oncoming traffic, here comes the White Van!!!
If anybody sees that white van, be sure to ask the driver EXACTLY what it feels like to get hit squarely in the face with a lit Lucky Strike non-filtered cigarette, cause that is EXACTLY what happened to him!!!
It's not over. At dinner, I poured 4 glasses of cherry Juicy Juice for my family. My HEALTHY daughter, was the one who got the one with the two glass slivers in it. She noticed them as she put it up to her lips. No she did not drink them. The real lucky break is that I could just as easily have given that glass of juice to my handicapped daughter, who would've sucked them up through a straw, and we would not have known a damn thing.
I hope this day ends soon, and smoothly.
No heavy lifting for my wife for a few days. Plenty of heavy lifting for me over the next few days. My back is shot, will definitely get worse, but I am fortunate to have my daughter home to lift, instead of in the emergency room with glass slivers lodged in her throat.
